The tour guides and Anne were amazing . Taking the trip to Japan can be insanely nerve-racking through the fact of the different cultures, but the truth is Anne and her team were amazing and made the trip an absolute pleasure.
A great visit to many food shops to try out Japanese Cuisine.

Sae was very informative and we tasted many different Japanese foods. She took us to a spice shop and we also brought a perfect Japanese knife! The restaurant we went to was typical cuisine and we enjoyed the meal.

We met our foodie guide for a private walking tour of Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho area and the Golden Gai in Tokyo, and spent the next three hours sampling a variety of delicious dishes (skewers, ramen, sushi, etc.) and drinks from four rustic food stalls and bars. This was one of the most fun and interesting things we did in Tokyo. We had an amazing guide -- insightful, fun and very educational about the culture of food and life in Japan. We highly recommend this tour.
